The sidereal rotation period of the Moon is just a bit under 27 days and 8 hours.
The moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one rotation on its axis. This period is known as its sidereal rotation period and is the same as its orbital period around the Earth.
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
The Sidereal Period is: 1) The period of revolution of one body around another, with respect to the distant stars. 2) The period of rotation of a body on its axis, with respect to the distant stars. This is often called the "sidereal period of rotation". For example, the Earth's sidereal period of rotation is about 23 hours and 56 minutes. The day is 24 hours because it's based on the rotation of the Earth relative to the position of the Sun in the sky.

The sidereal rotation period of the Moon is just a bit under 27 days and 8 hours.
A "Moon" day is the period it takes to make one revolution on it's axis (or Sidereal rotation period) this is currently 27.321582 Earth days.
The sidereal rotation period is 9.925 hours
Neptune's sidereal period or true orbital period. 60,190.03[5] days 164.79 years
The moon takes approximately 27.3 days to complete one rotation on its axis. This period is known as its sidereal rotation period and is the same as its orbital period around the Earth.
The Moon takes about 28 1/2 days to go once around the Earth (that's the sidereal period). Perhaps you can work it out from there.
27.3217 days. This is known as the moon's sidereal rotation period. The time between full moons is longer because the earth is going around the sun.
The Moon is "tidally locked" and always has the same face turned to the Earth. So, the rotation period equals the orbital period. The Moon rotates once (a sidereal day) per 27.321582 Earth days. So, that's the length of the Moon's "sidereal day". The "daylight" is about 14 days long, and the nights are about the same length. (If you're on the "near side" of the Moon, then the lunar night is at least sort-of illuminated by the nearly full Earth, which is WAY brighter than the full Moon.) So the answer is: about 2,360,580 seconds.
The Sidereal Period is: 1) The period of revolution of one body around another, with respect to the distant stars. 2) The period of rotation of a body on its axis, with respect to the distant stars. This is often called the "sidereal period of rotation". For example, the Earth's sidereal period of rotation is about 23 hours and 56 minutes. The day is 24 hours because it's based on the rotation of the Earth relative to the position of the Sun in the sky.
A sidereal month is the time it takes the moon to complete one orbit of earth. A synodic month is longer than a sidereal month because it takes longer for the moon to go through it's phases
